I would 1. backup all mails, 2. create a new account in the new domain, then
delete the box from the old domain and 3. copy the backedup mails to the new
box. I don't know if you only edit the ids in mysql that there is no problem
with the local cyrus database. I think there coul'd be a copy method in
cyradm.

The Option free Names allows the Domainadmins to create Mailboxes and put
there own names as usernames like domain.tld0001. here a domain admin can
edit his own username for login to imap etc.

the second Option -> Allow free Mailadresses allows the domain admin to set
self the names before the "@".
I think if you disable this, web-cyradm would use own named boxes and
increment them with a number. I haven't tested it yet.
